// Spatial Development
The Spatial Development division is concerned with urban and rural planning and development. Clients are mostly in the government sector and include municipalities, regional authorities and water councils. Over the past years, water has become one of the guiding planning principles in spatial development. Expertise on (geo-) hydrology and ecology has therefore been incorporated in the division. Our integrated approach is based on broad international experience in spatial design and careful consideration of all stakeholders and interests involved.

Infrastructure & Transport
The Infrastructure & Transport division provides compre­hensive services in the planning and design of roads, railways, tunnels and bridges. We assist government institutions with policy studies and the development of innovative and sustainable traffic and transport solutions. Because of its broad orientation and extensive experience, the division is also a creative and valued partner in the construction industry and transport sector. In many larger projects, Royal Haskoning is able to enter into a Design & Construct contract form.

Architecture & Building
The services of the Architecture & Building division cover the entire planning and building process, from master planning, feasibility and design studies all the way to construction supervision, maintenance and SHE manage­­ment. Our clients can be found in the international business community, as well as in government and non­ profit organisations. They choose Royal Haskoning for its ability to create buildings with distinctive character, from basic principles of functionality and human wellbeing.

Mechanical & Electrical Services
The Mechanical & Electrical Services division specializes in designing technical installations for industry, utility buildings, traffic and transport infrastructure. Our clients regard Royal Haskoning as a reliable partner in the complete chain, from planning and design to project management and operational support. The division harbours the latest technological expertise on ICT, climate control, security installations and control engineering. We also enjoy an established reputation in traffic manage­ment, transport logistics and process technology.

Environment
The Environment division offers in-depth knowledge and expertise on environmental management and technology anywhere in the world. The environment and all related issues have become central topics in the public debate and therefore in the decision making process in both business and politics. In order to deal with even the most diverse and complex issues, all know-how in the fields of water, air, soil, hazardous substances, noise and industrial processes, including those in the oil and gas industry, has been concentrated in the Environment division. This enables us to provide real added value, both for our clients and the planet we live on.

Water
The Water division operates on a world-wide scale and has built up a solid international reputation in water management. Climate change and the related risks call for an integrated approach. The division focuses on the complete water chain, offering extensive expertise in all processes involved. Our clients are international orga­nisations and governmental authorities, ranging from ministries to water boards. The Water division applies practical knowledge and experience in developing the best methods for utilising the most precious of all our resources.

Coastal & Rivers
The expertise of the Coastal & Rivers division is in demand around the world for the management of rivers, deltas and coasts. Our clients are local, regional and national authorities, as well as international organisations, which call upon us for everything from policymaking to project supervision. We plan and design fortifications of sea and river defences and specialise in risk management in areas prone to flooding. Redeveloping coastal and river areas requires not only thorough assessments, but also the ability to take ecological and the residents' interests into account.

Maritime
The Maritime division is internationally renowned for the planning, design and operation of ports and maritime installations. With over a hundred years of experience, we pride ourselves in a profound understanding of the port and shipping sector and the pressures placed on it. The division is at the forefront of maritime technology and offers high-quality and tailor-made services, ranging from feasibility studies, marketing strategies and financing to project management and operational support.
